- Think of it as a gamble. You may or may not like the items. The mystery is the fun - Don't spend what you don't want to lose - Consider joining a group or trading unwanted items with friends. - Trade or sell items for retail value or lower. People will NOT be happy with people trying to profit off of the bags. - Try something new. Give things in the bag a chance!
Lucky bags are very common in most of Japan and Korea. If you like skincare, these are a fave of mine!

Eyeshadow Brands I have depotted as of this video: ABH Juvia’s Place Nomad Cosmetics Hourglass quads, trios, and 2021 Holiday release Viseart Brow Palette Viseart Mattes from Boxy Charm Beauty Crop
Magnetic brands without glue: Most Indy Brands that are made in the USA are magnetic and not glued. I love that! Most Indy Brands that also sell singles. (Unless they are made in PRC, then the singles will be magnetic, but the palettes are often not the same. Nomad comes to mind) Colourpop except the shades in plastic packaging. Those are magnetic, but use glue Viseart except the palettes in plastic packaging sold by Boxy Charm. They moved away from glue and used Boxy to clear the old design out. Still great shades. Nearly impossible to depot without casualties. Look for the notches. No depotting notches = lots of green glue. Natasha Denona except for the mini 5 pans. Those are super glued in and you will have to ruin the packaging to get them out. Most palettes made by Seed Beauty (Tati, KKW, Kylie) LORAC Pro if they come with a tool. The six pans are glued and may not be magnetic (I don’t remember for sure. Also the unzipped and most of the palettes released before 2019. Fun fact, these are the same pan size as Viseart Petit and make great companions.
Brands that are glued in and not magnetic. (This list includes only what I know of. Please let me know if I am missing any more) Nearly everything made in PRC Most of the makeup made in Germany Most of the makeup made in England Some of the makeup made in AUS
I believe the variance in pans has to do with metal availability in each country. Some manufacturers in these countries do use magnetic pans at the client’s request. Beware that non-magnetic tins are also very pliable and you will possibly get more breakage when you depot.
*Note that some shades use a mesh backing or a terracotta tile. These aren’t as scary as they sound. They may break away from the mesh, but lash glue is an easy fix for this. It is unlikely that you will get a baked shade off of a tile or that the tile will break. Heat. Parian. Pop it out. Use as is in your BYOP projects. I have a video on that.
If you have not experienced it, mattes break more easily than shimmers. The way to repress these is with a total crush and grind. Then press with a LOT of even pressure. A pressing machine is the best way to do this. I don’t care what they say, none of these depotting solutions can be mixed in and still preserve the quality of the matte eye shadows and pigments.
Let me know if you have more questions. I am always playing and depotting.

MelyMakeup Inventory Part 6 - Quints and QuadsMelByGrace2023-01-23 | Thank you for watching my series through my make up inventory for the end of 2022 and the start of 2023.

For the last few years, I have been searching out new terms. I dislike, “collection”; “kit” is more for pros. I have settled on “library” for my makeup goodies. I hope you will chime in below with your terms.
This series will go through my entire library of palettes based on how many pans they contain. Anything put aside for the chopping block will be reviewed and decided on in February. I do not want to make rash decisions. That often leads to regret and increased spending.

Six pan palettes can be fun and also overlooked for me. I keep this number small and tend to travel with these items. I made a few missteps in my purchases this year. Six pans being in that category. It amazes me how expensive these can be!
